Minor Touchups (must be done five or six weeks after initial session and no longer than after the eighth week). As with all artistic semi-permanent makeup creations, a touchup will be needed in order to see the desired results. The touchup can be performed four weeks after the main procedure, NOT BEFORE. Our skin renews its living cycle every 30 days, if any invasive treatment is done during the first 30 days of healing, the results will be altered, and skin might get damaged.

A Yearly Touchup is recommended to maintain the freshness of color and shape of your brows.

A semi-permanent makeup procedure, just like any other permanent makeup services, needs to go through a healing time before seeing results. The healing process takes 30 days, and it is divided in four stages.

During the first stage, brows will be darker than desired color.

During the second stage, brows will most likely scab.

Through the third stage, the pigments will fade a little; this is normal.

When the brows get to the fourth part of the healing process, the pigment will return and settle, and the final result will be visible. Same healing time applies for touch-ups.
